I am so tapped out for original stories, that I've moved on to outright telling greek myth or other famous tales to the kids. Now they ask, "Wait dad, is this a made up story, or is it a real story?"

Last night I had a surprisingly touching moment during story telling.

Backstory, Kelvin has a gorilla in his zoo that he got from a planet. The Gorilla is called "Gorilla Fan" because he is a huge fan of Captain Kelvin, and wears a captain kelvin branded hat, shirt and foam finger.

Well, Ensign Teddy, the space polar bear in charge of tending the zoo noticed that Gorilla Fan had begun to show telekinetic powers.

After helping save the ship with his telekinetic powers it was decided that Gorilla Fan needed someone to help train him to use his abilities so he could learn to use them to their fullest potential (rather than languish in a zoo).

So they sought out the ultimate ninja masters who will train anybody who can find them. Eventually it was discovered that the ninja masters hid themselves inside a fake black hole, since who would be foolish enough to get close to that?

Inside their hideout, they accepted Gorilla Fan for training, but informed Kelvin that he would be gone for a full year.

Captain Kelvin agreed, and then Gorilla Fan realized what was happnening and looked back at Captain Kelvin in distress.

Captain Kelvin said "Ensign Teddy, why don't you stay with Gorilla Fan while he trains so he isn't lonely.", thoughtlessly sacrificing one of his most powerful crew members just so another imaginary character wouldn't be sad...
